• Over the last few years there has been a rise in total assets, however there was decline in FY21 due to pandemic.
• In FY20 the net profit of the company showed a downward trend but it improved in FY21 despite pandemic which is a good sign.
• The current year dividend for Reliance Industries is Rs 7 and the yield is 0.27 %.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
• The cash flow from operations during the year stands out to be positive which is good sign for the company.
• The company's cash flow from investing activities is more negative which means that company generating cash from operations is used to invest in long term assets like the purchase of property plant and equipment and intangible assets
• The net cash flow was increasing over the years but decreased in FY21 which can be because of increase in Capex in different sectors in which Reliance is expanding its business.
